This information may have included your name, address, Social Security number, credit card number and/or debit card number. No personal identification numbers (PIN) or passwords were accessed and/or obtained.

Well, PINs, passwords, and credit card/debit card numbers are disposable. SSN, address (if you don't move), and name (unless you request to have it legally changed) are not.

I don't have MBNA billpay, but use Bank of America BillPay and for any account changes, I can directly change it by updating the payee information for my payee list.

Answer for me was putting a credit freeze on a few years ago and now no worries.

Hmm - I had 2x 1 cent authorizations (no charges) a few weeks ago from "UK2 LTD - London, UK". Penfed called me on a different charge that was legit, and then happened to ask about some other recent charges. This UK2 was one I couldn't answer for. I had to get a new card issued. It's been 2 weeks and no card. I called a few days ago and was told they ran out of plastic and had ordered more in.

Very annoying as this is my primary card.

I have a freeze and had no problem enrolling in the credit monitoring.

"PenFed had a laptop infected with malware that permitted unauthorized access to a database containing personal data of certain members. The security breach appeared to only affect PenFed members with credit cards. Fatwallet members with AMEX and Visa credit cards reported being issued new credit cards with new numbers. Letters to affected members were supposedly sent on January 4th.

New Hampshire is one of the states that require financial institutions to notify the state attorney general of security breaches that affect any of the state's residents."Penfed Letter (pdf)

I had an unauthorized charge from the UK as well and I called about it. As a result they closed my account and reissued a new one then two days later closed THAT accound and reissued again when this large scale problem came to light. I could see it all happening online but it took awhile for everything to catch up. I eventually got two new of cards (one now closed, one current) and the letter offering credit monitoring.

I had a similarly small charge last month from a "resort" in Denver, wtf. Penfed called and account was closed, new card reissued etc. Got the letter a few days ago and signed up for the online monitoring. I too wonder what happens after 2 years. Guess a call is in order.

i called them and they verbally told me I was not affected. They said if you call, they can tell you if you were affected, in case you didn't receive a letter.

I activated ID Theft Smart. From the Credit Reports, Credit Information section, I can only see 3 credit cards that are "open", while I have more than 10+ active credit cards.

Does anyone notice this?

No new card yet. At least charges against my old card resumed working after about a half-day of failing to post.

I'm getting kind of worried. No new card (VISA) still and the old one auto cancels on the 31st.

I'm in the same boat. I called yesterday and was told that they were "somewhat behind" in their card replacement process, because they had "run out of plastic" (!)

Guess it's a little late to go long on "plastic" on the commodities market.

I just got the new replacement card in the mail yesterday. No mention about the 2% rebate change to supermarket purchases, but I guess I will see that information on the account statement for the new account.

I received the Penfed replacement visa card on 1/15/11 (original notification by Penfed was on 12/23 as to the forthcoming replacement card).

Data Point: Others have reported receiving a statement notification as to a change to 1% from 2% on grocery Cash Back, beginning 3/1/11. I received no such notification on the 1/4/11 statement, or otherwise. In fact, the statement affirmed the 5/2/1 Cash Back rate on the statement.

I received replcaement card on Saturday. The color is blueish now instead of greyish - but still quite ugly to be honest.

Apparently I'm not affected, although I'd kind of wanted to - my card has a sizable crack and it could use a replacement. I know, I can call to get a new one, but the hassle is not big enough to motivate me to call.

I would just use super glue on it to seal the crack. The only thing that really matters is the magnetic stripe.

Anyone else have two statements to pay? The Penfed website is saying that I have a new card and only to pay the new card's bill, but the new card clearly does not have all the charges that were also on the old one. I'm wondering if I need to make two separate payments to them, one for the old and one for the new. Both statements have the same due date.

Anyone else in this boat?
